Virginia started things off by taking a tight doubles point over TCU with the decider coming down to a tiebreak at #2 but once singles got underway the top of the Cavs lineup came through with each winning in straight sets. The 3 remaining courts were all still up for grabs at the time of the clinch. Virginia’s Collin Altamirano played doubles but did not play at #4 singles as originally slotted which moved everyone else up a spot.
With the win Virginia moves on to Saturday’s quarterfinals against #11 Baylor.

Match Notes:
From what I heard Columbia's #4 got a game penalty for language abuse after the chair wouldn't overturn a call on match point and since that match was over the penalty carried over to the only remaining court which was #2. Since they had already started the game with Smith serving for the match up 5-1 the chair said that due to the game penalty on the other court the match would be over and it would be a Georgia win after they finished the current game. So they had to play out the final points even though the outcome was decided. Jonathan Kelley will have a full write-up on it over at Zoo Tennis – probably will be posted sometime tomorrow.
So what exactly went down at the end of the UGA-Columbia match?
